Kentucky |
I spent several amazing days in March 2012 in Kentucky and Indiana. You can read all the detail in my blog in the entry for March 13, 2012. First, I presented "La Favola di Fabrizio" at the Indiana University East International Festival, and the next day I taught a master class at Indiana University East. Back in Louisville, I attended the blessing of the keg hosted by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and performed a program of Irish songs and stories. On Saturday, I sung at Mass with the Hibernian choir and rode in the first float in the St. Patrick's Day parade! On Sunday, I cantored for the Sunday Mass. Later in the day I was able to visit famous Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.
